Designer: Bonita Model: Beth Alexander

Bonita Dudley Scott has been a designer for over 20 years. She first began sewing in her hometown of Dallas, Texas in 1960, under the instruction of her elementary school teacher. In 1962, Bonita and her family moved to Nashville, where her interest in sewing started to grow to include costume and original design.

In 1983, Bonita started her own design business called "Sew Savoir-Faire" which has created the wedding gown for Nashville radio personality, U-Turn Laverne, replicated the Fisk Jubilee Singers outfits for the musical 'A Joyful Noise', and has become a favorite of rock 'n' roll legend, Little Richard.

The proudest moment of her career so far was "...Seeing Little Richard on the "TV Land Awards Show" stage in a design I created for him specifically for that show."

Bonita draws inspiration for her eclectic and diverse designs from her clients positions, styles and tastes. Her designs are exclusive and one-of-a-kind.
